Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, May 14, 1929 to February 11, 1937, lvc000003-452

Item 6: The city should have reserved the right to fix all rates, but is willing that an arbiter other than the airlines participate, or the city will assent to any method that will be conducive to the protection of future air commerce for the city. Item 9: This is an impossible condition. We understand that the government in a sit­uation of this kind, does not escrow their ear-market allotments of money. This is a matter in which we have no voice. Item 12 : The city cannot exempt Western Air, or any other company, from taxes for this would require a constitutional amendment. As a general proposition the city is anxious to enter into an arrangement with Western Air with the object in view, as stated before, of giving the Western Air a full, complete but non-exclusive, use and right to the city's airport, having in mind the interests of air companies that may want to use the field jointly in the future, with the view also of letting the airport pay its own way or approximately so, and no more. In other words, the city cannot permit its airport to be so encumbered as to permit any one company to make a profit from another company or in any way interfere with the complete and full enjoyment of the field by all regularly established lines, as well as transient ships. We thank you again for your kind assistance in this matter and express the hope that we may be able to complete this program.
